why is aim assist still a thing

Players arent the same as they were 10 years ago. Now with all these new controllers taking recoil out of it, the average console player is WAY more likely to hit for 120+ vs the average mkb player. ive watched good players play on controller and seems like they dont have to be nearly as accurate with their shots, they just happen to hit the enemy even if crosshair is way off. tired of all my shots being 1cm off and the bullet doesnt hit. i get it, you need to lead your shots at certain distances, i dont mean that. seems like controller is way more forgiving. i bet i get killed more by console players than i do pc and I KNOW ive been hit for 150+ WAY more times by console players than mkb players

we DONT need aim assist anymore. take it out and all the controller players will be on the same playing field as other controller players. ive never complained about aim assist in call of duty, fortnite etc, ONLY apex legends. it just seems over buffed for this game

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I dont think there is anything wrong with having a bias towards one or the other, I think that’s normal.

I just don’t like it when mnk players blame everything on aa or when controllerplayers pretend it doesn’t do anything or barely anything…
Both sides are just wrong and the truth is in the middle.

I know ea won’t do crap about it, because it would cost them players, and it’s a simple gamble for them to nerf it… they would have to hope that the lost controllerplayers will get exchanged with mnk players and I understand why they don’t take such a gamble.
We also need to look at pc fps gaming and acknowledge that the competition for apex is much higher, the top fps titles especially to make money are pc exclusive titles.
But I also know for a fact that many mnk players avoid apex because of aimassist.

I am also with you that mnk is superior in overall but that’s why aimassist exists 🙂

"Both sides are just wrong and the truth is in the middle."
I could get behind that. As biased as I am about my aa opinions. The more I try to research and find out more information on the matter, the more it seems like it's an even playing field but no side wants to admit it.
Mnk complain about aa being too strong. Controller says it isn't strong enough.
Every bit of information I look up though always says that mnk is the superior input-which as you said is why aa exist.
